What happens when the exploding cost of oil makes it too expensive to ship computers back and fourth from china? Could we see a grand resurgence of electronic manufacturing jobs in North America? Perhaps Mexico will become the manufacturing powerhouse for us that china is now.
The WSJ article speculates that the plants would continue to produce parts for Dell, but that Dell would sell the plants and outsource their manufacturing to the new owners of the plants.
Basically, Dell wants to say "We're tired of this headache, somebody come in and run this for us for less money than we spend ourselves."
In this event, there is no change of trnasportation routes, just who hires the managers and employees at the factories.
I'm not as naive as to think that only France has one of these- one only has to go to the Red Scare to know that the US also puts these together (See also: Do Not Fly lists, Guantanimo Bay, FBI & St. Paul Police raids this past Monday.) I do wonder, however, how long these databases can be compiled before they become unwieldy. Eventually, nearly every database becomes too much of a spider web and needs to be redone.
Actually it costs less to buy an album on Amazon then to buy a CD. If you were an audiophile you would be talking about SACD or DVD-Audio anyways so obviously you are not. You really should give high bitrate MP3 a chance.
I didn't say CD, I said 'discs.' That means vinyl, DVD-A, SACD, and traditional CD's. I buy some CD's because not everything is available in the other formats these days.
And if you have a CD with, say, 20 songs, and you 'can' buy them online for $0.99 each, that's roughly $20+S/H. Go in to the store and it's between $8-$15 for a CD, more for any of the other formats (unless you find a vinyl at a garage sale or something for a quarter or a buck.
Will the music you buy be DRM free? I only buy from Amazon now because I'm not up to buy my music five or six times in my life. I just want to buy it once and use it however I damn well please.
I buy only music that comes on discs because I'm not up to buy music that's of poorer quality for more money.
Why even have the address bar? Every browser out there has Control+L grab an address input, and you know that they're going to throw a "Google Search" box in the browser- probably Google Desktop as well.
On page 13, they have completed Hitler's dream. Germany seems to occupy Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland,most of Austria, Croatia, Slovenia and Hungary.
Weird because the rest of the chart seems pretty correct. This must mean all of Google are Nazi's.
Not only that, but they've advanced from their V2's to V8. I think they've had to drink a lot in order to progress through stages V3-V7
First, the Democratic and Republican National Conventions this year are in VERY different places. Did you consider that perhaps the attitude of the police in Minneapolis might be just a LITTLE different than that of the police in Denver? In fact, I can just about guarantee that they are.
Not to mention the attitude of the FBI.
I grew up in the Twin Cities. This never would have happened if we had a governor who wasn't Bush's lap dog.
I could see this happening for smaller companies, but for the larger companies, I can't see them switching over. Large companies *hate* change. And I'd imagine that it's the larger companies who are using the corporate editions, while the smaller ones feel comfortable with the community editions.
If you are serious about racing, our product is for you, because getting on a [simulated] track with a full field of other drivers and racing against them safely involves as much commitment and time investment as if you went to racing school.
I don't know about you, but nothing gets my adrenaline running like feeling those virtual G's I pull when taking sharp turns. I mean, seriously, that shit is more realistic than driving my sports car on the open roads.
Whoever put this measurement together has a very frightening mindset. Take number 15, for example:
15. Creating nationalized ID card and linking computer databases
He's trying to make the National ID card be a good thing, for Christ's sake! That is, unless the scoring is like Golf, where lower is better, which doesn't appear to be the case....
I guess we'd better hope voting records don't mean much, as it seems Biden is a firm friend of the *AA's
Or, maybe he's just hoping people stop downloading copyrighted materials. Hell, I haven't illegally downloaded copyrighted music for years. The only stuff I do download is overseas TV shows which aren't shown in my part of the world, so I feel like I can claim the 'no damages' defense.
Going even further, I honestly can not remember the last time I pirated any software. Whilst I may not be following EULA's to the letter, at least all of the software on my computer is either free (as in beer and beer) or has been paid for.
Way too many stupid people think they can try to work those deals...
Whatever. As long as whoever comes out ahead with the money classifies it as 'Illegal Income' when filing his/her tax returns at the end of the year, I'm fine with whatever. The one thing I can't *stand* is tax evaders!
Defendant: I did not rob that bank. To prove that I am innocent....here's a picture of me in the bank not robbing it.
Judge: That's good enough for me. <bangs gavel> Not guilty!
Why is this insightful? Unless the defendant owns the bank or is responsible for its security system, said defendant did not (presumably) create the picture.
True, just look at the front page of the BBC from time to time
China is making a mockery of was once a good thing.
Why single out China? Scandals like this occur every olympics. Hell, remember the fiasco with the French judge and the Russian figure skaters back during the Salt Lake City olymipics? See wikipedia for a refresher.
New olympics, new scandal, same story.
Personally, I think the biggest scandal is the points system in gymnastics. I don't care how difficult someone's routines are- if someone falls to their knees, literally, during a vault, they should never be able to win any medal when their competitors are performing near-flawless vaults (no errors other than something like a tiny hop on the landing)
The simple answer is that he should file the patent. All prior art will just come down to how whenever someone is employed by another legal body (either person or company,) the products that they create that is related to their work (either job or employer) is the property of the employer. Just look at universities, for example. Chemists at universities don't own any of the patents for things they discover or invent in the course of their work- the universities do.
As per the "bump" I imagine it's more because Colbert is specifically looking for it, and trumpeting it. Free publicity is almost always going to create funding opportunities for politicians.
I think it has more to do with his announcement of running for president by means of campaigning only in South Carolina, or wherever he's originally from. What's scary is how that would have skewed the results of the primaries if he *did* run for the Democratic nomination- Colbert would have come in 3rd, Obama in 2nd, and Clinton 1st
Slashdot Mirror
Uh huh... try convincing the public to dedicate such government funding to a scheme that would place 1500, 300-ton boats on open waters.
We could always, uh, ask Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, or that new super-rich guy that basically owns Mexico. They all have $3bil several times over.

Here's to the thought of having Cybernanny installed on the backbone of the internet.
Want to learn about birth control?

Want to learn about the Crusades from a non-christian perspective?(

Want to learn about Heliocentricism?

If I ever do something where I'm concerned about Big Brother watching me with their eyes in the sky, I'll just use one of the following:
Bike
Wheelchair
Skateboard
Electric wheelchair
Segway

If US ISPs spent half as much on lawyers and lobbyists, maybe they could afford bigger series of pipes.
Or at least a dump truck or two...

All it takes is one abusive merchant to initiate a "collection" against
you. It won't matter if it's a genuine billing dispute or not.
And that's when you get the BBB involved and bring them to court.

Okay, but I thought we were shifting over to OLED's some time in the near-future. Does this apply to them as well?

This appears to be a good time to plug the BBC's miniseries/movie "Burn Up," which I literally just finished watching less than 5 minutes ago.
It is political as hell, but I really don't mind since I agree with its viewpoint.
Imagine if our courts took the same approach
Defendant: I did not rob that bank. To prove that I am innocent....here's a picture of me in the bank not robbing it.
Judge: That's good enough for me. <bangs gavel> Not guilty!
Why is this insightful? Unless the defendant owns the bank or is responsible for its security system, said defendant did not (presumably) create the picture.
This is a world-level scandal.

Distros like Gentoo will still be hardcore users only with every option available only after heavy config and compiles.
Gentoo isn't hardcore. Its users just realize how awesome Portage is.
